"Three years after opening the city’s first bar devoted to women’s sports in Ballard, this women’s sports hub is expanding to a second location by taking over the Columbia City Ale House space, making it the first women’s sports bar to have two locations, according to a press release. Founder and CEO Jen Barnes says the move is about meeting clear demand and proving women’s sports fans are a viable market, calling gender equality smart, sustainable business, and the new bar could open as soon as October, per the Seattle Times." - Harry Cheadle
